Lost Eye Sight. Brain MRI Showed Lesions In The White Matter. What Treatment Should Be Done?
The duration actually depends on the cause and the rapidity of institution of a specific therapy. Cases in which there is no obvious cause or in which the cause is multiple sclerosis often improve after two weeks, but the vision may, in most cases, never completely return to normal. Relapse might occur, and many people with retrobulbar neuritis eventually develop multiple sclerosis.
The followup of the child is very delicate and requires a coordinated followup between a neurologist and an ophthalmologist. Other tests to continually monitor or exclude multiple sclerosis is my advise, so appropriate therapy might be instituted if need be. A reevaluation by the ophthalmologist and a neurologist at this point in time, to draw up a management plan is the ideal thing to .
Booking an appointment with a neurologist and an ophthalmologist for management is my advice.
Best regards and wishing good health.
